The candidates for virginia governor are slinging mud and southwest Virginia

plumbing and clean and dependable water supplies."

He spoke about water and sewer damage done by last year's flooding.

clever details much more interesting then the good vs. evil plot.

OUT Q=she doesn't.
The movie can't decide if it is a male fantasy, strictly sci-fi, a Bruce
Willis action adventure flick, or a comedy. It has "elements" of them all.
Bruce Willis plays a futuristic cab driver in "The Fifth Element". There are
cloned aliens, a wistful waif, a priest, and Chris Tucker as a cross between
Prince and Dennis Rodman.
If you want sense, see another movie. If you want some neat and unusual
visuals "The Fifth Element" has them, but it still gets a "C+".
Good cinematography and special effects aren't always enough.
